First check for any drivers missing in the device manager.

You need to install itunes to communicate with the ipod and ipad:

If you have an old itunes, uninstall it and install the new.

Good luck

Normally in dell computers the the swicth to tun on wireless is Fn+ F2.. Try this.. If still no go then You need to get into device manager.. Unistall the wireless drivers and install a fresh copy from the support website of dell(www.support.dell.com) Restart the computer and then try...

I would check network connections in your control panel first and make sure your wireless connection is enabled. Next I would go to System in control panel and then go to device manager and check to see if the drive for the wireless is installed. May want to try here for the Driver download.

Hi, if you press Fn and F2 together this enables/ disable any wireless devices.
Let me know if this has fixed it.

Go to support.dell.com enter your tag number for your laptop, download the driver for your wireless card it will probably say Intel Pro Wireless, download the driver install it and see if this remedies the problem. If not the laptop could have a virus, verify your anti virus protection is up to date and perform a scan on the computer to detect it there is a known issue with a virus.

type in 192.168.1.1 this is your routers address.

The 802.11 protocol is for wireless adapters. If your is 11MBs, it is a b card. Buy a g or n card to achieve the 54 MBs you want. Be sure to uninstall the b card and software before you install the new card.

Good luck, and please let me know how this works out for you.

Download the Alps Touchpad driver for the Inspiron 8600 from the FTP site of Dell (http://ftp.us.dell.com/input/R113813.EXE)

Let me know if this helped!

Wireless range is pretty much limited to router placement and type (802.11N has longer range than 802.11B/G) so if you want to increase your range/reception use and 802.11N PCMCIA Card and 802.11N router
